Join us for Modern Shibori Dyeing with Kilikina.
Make four distinctive drawstring bags using various tie dye techniques reminiscent of the Japanese shibori resist dying techniques. Although traditional shibori was done with indigo, modern shibori uses colors and other types of dye. Students will color the fabric in class. The drawstring bags need to sit at least 24 hours in a ziplock bag for best results. Students will rinse, wash and dry out their finished tie dyed pieces at home.
There will be an additional supply fee of $30 payable to the instructor on the day of class. The supply fee includes: Soaking solution, fiber reactive dyes (various colors), sinew (waxed string), 2 pairs disposable plastic gloves, and 4 cotton drawstring bags (various sizes).
What to Bring:
- $30 supply fee
- Rubber dishwashing gloves (1 pair)
- Small scissors
- Empty and clean large plastic bottle
- 4 quart or gallon Ziploc bags
- Waterproof Apron (optional)*
- Wear comfortable clothing**
- Water and a personal snack (optional)
*Water resistant apron might be available at Daiso Stores (call them first to check)
**Wear any clothes that you wouldn't mind getting a tiny colored splash on, and old comfortable shoes. It’s best to leave jewelry such as rings and bracelets at home.
